My favorite GM quote

"I'm gonna need a leather jacket for when i'm on my hog and need to go into a controlled slide"

**Trichocyst** · 2009-09-04 21:12

I'm gonna need something that says "Daddy likes leather".

"Never promise crazy a baby"

"Hey... WHERE THE FUCK ARE MY HARD-BOILED EGGS?!"

**Trichocyst** · 2009-09-05 00:15

Here he comes... Here comes John Wayne... I'm not gonna cry about my pa. I'm gonna build an airport, put my name on it. Why Michael? So you can fly away from your feelings?

"Mother of God! Every! Damn! Time! Owww! This is a big one!"

I love the cornballer.

i never seen this show... what can you compare it with now? is it like a modern roseanne or soemthing? thats the vibe i get from watching the youtube trailers

**Trichocyst** · 2009-09-05 00:56

Are they official trailers? Because FOX sucked really hard at marketing it. It's filmed like the Office, is dry like Curb Your Enthusiasm, completely ridiculous, morally void, and oriented around a rich family that is basically circling the drain. It's hard to really compare it to anything. Nothing jumps out at me. If you're looking to get into the show then I'd recommend checking out the season 1 episode "Pier Pressure" to get a pretty good sense of the absurdity that follows.

it was just a bunch of clips from various seasons put into like 2 min. like a fan made trailer. but ill DL season 1. thanks for the feedback!

**Zanz L. Barre The 3rd** · 2009-09-05 03:54

Season 1 isn't the greatest of the three, but you'll definitely want to check that out first to better understand the characters and plot.

**Elcura** · 2009-09-05 06:03

Yeah, once you get into all the character's you'll piss yourself at least once an episode.

"I can't stand to hear anymore lies from this family."
"There's the wife I'm sexually attracted to!"
"Ok but that's the last one..."

**Headspace** · 2009-09-05 11:12

"But dad's not here"
"Maybe....he is."

The whole thing with Tobias and the Blue(Blew) men group had my sides about ready to explode.

**Trichocyst** · 2009-09-05 18:52

I was going to share my pop secret with you, but now forget it.

**Alderaan** · 2009-09-05 20:26

If only AD came out a decade earlier on NBC. I think we would have seen a lengthy airing. This decade just flat out sucks.

**Trichocyst** · 2009-09-05 21:27

I tried really hard to get people to watch it while it was on. My best friend thought that the show was on HBO for the longest time. Networks pull the trigger on shows so fast now. It's kind of a miracle that AD lasted so long. With reality tv and reality tv game shows being so cheap and popular it will be even harder to see top quality shows like this on the air.

October 5, 2009 - Even before it was cancelled, there was talk about a movie being made out of Fox's short-lived but beloved series Arrested Development. And since then there's been plenty more talk, talk, and talk -- but little else to indicate forward momentum on the project. That may have just changed.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, series creator Mitchell Hurwitz and co-executive producer James Vallely are working on the screenplay for the "long-debated" feature version of the show.

"Even as they prep a new Fox comedy series with Arrested star Will Arnett," the paper adds, "the writers are spinning more bizarre encounters for the eccentric, spoiled Bluth clan for possible feature production in the spring."

Imagine, which produced the show, will team with Fox Searchlight on the movie. According to THR, Hurwitz had previously said that he wouldn't start writing the script unless all the main actors were committed to come back. Still, scheduling might prove to be a problem for some of those actors -- particularly Jason Bateman and Michael Cera. Hurwitz will direct the picture
